Idea Wiki History

Nerd & Critic duology

Nerd vs. Critic: Big Screen Edition

Jenny ends up in the real world after another regular fight with the Cluster. There, she ends up in the office of the Nostalgia Critic, who offers her shelter until they can find a way to send her back to her reality. While at his office, she joins him in reviewing Escape from Cluster Prime, which is when she learns about how her adventures are being broadcasted in the live-action world. She suffers an existential crisis after the review but breaks out of it when she receives a signal of an alien threat (eventually revealed to be Rita Repulsa), leaving the place to catch up to it.

In her absence, the Critic thinks she's been kidnapped by his rival, the Angry Video Game Nerd. She manages to track Rita, who has joined forces with the Joker, near the Nerd's house. She engages in battle with them alone until she is assisted by the Nerd & a few of his allies. The heroes chase the 2 villains all the way to the Critic's headquarters, where Jenny saves Critic's life by holding a missile long enough for the Nerd to blast out of existence. She then convinces the 2 rivals to work together against the greater evil. They manage to emerge victorious, but the movie ends on Jenny still stuck in the real world with no way back.

Nerd & Critic: The Team-Up No One in the World Asked For

Over the course of quite some time, the Critic's crew has been working on ways to bring Jenny back to her world, but every attempt has been unsuccessful. Eventually, they find that more characters are being transported to the live-action reality. They are invited by the military to their base to discuss the situation. Turns out, an unknown force has been doing all of the strange reality-warpings, with Jenny herself being 1 of the first victims. To pass the time, she brings her friend Vega (who was also transported to the real world) for a day out. 1 night, the heroes end up captured by the perpetrators of the reality-warpings: the Strangers from Dark City, who seek to destroy reality's natural order for extremely petty reasons. With help from the individuals incorrectly transported to the real dimensions & several of the Nerd & Critic's allies, the Strangers' plans are foiled & everyone is sent home to their respective realities, including Jenny.

Jenny makes her series debut in "The Day Earth-Mewni Blew Up", joining the heroes in thwarting an alien gum scheme.
